Onterrio Smith's original Whizzinator to be auctioned off tonight in Shakopee

The don't-miss event of the year (which we unfortunately have to miss) is happening tonight at the Shakopee Auction Center.

As part of an auction of seized items, the infamous Original Whizzinator that ex-Viking tried to sneak through airport security, presumably to pass a drug test, will be auctioned off tonight.

Yes, this is real. Colleague and friend of RandBall Patrick Reusse had this on his radio show this morning. You can listen here. He even interviewed the auctioneer.

He sent an urgent message to us a little while ago, and we did a little digging. It appears, according to the auction web site, that things kick off around 6:15 p.m. The following items will be included:

We have no idea how much a "game-used" Whizzinator might fetch, but we have to imagine the sentimental value will far outweigh any practical value. If anyone goes down to the auction, we would love to get a full report.

Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could convince the world to love jumpsuits as much as he does. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part. Follow @randball on Twitter.
